"Beatin' The Odds" lyrics

"Beatin' The Odds"

Well she grabbed me and asked me
If I had a name
She told me she was interested to see
If I could play the game
She said her name was victory
She didn't want to know the rules
That's just the way I wanted to play
In a game designed for fools

We were beating the odds, we were beating the odds
We were beating the odds again
We were gambling with our souls
We were playing to win
We were beating the odds again

Well I rolled the dice feeling cold as ice
And Victory drew the cards
We knew that loosing when the stakes were high
Could really hit us hard
I strapped into the drivers seat
With Miss Victory by my side
She knew at a glance she was taking a chance
By coming along for the ride

We were beating the odds, we were beating the odds
We were beating the odds again
We were gambling with our souls
We were playing to win
We were beating the odds again

Time and space stood still that day
With Victory's soul and mine
We were running a race between heaven and hell
And we could not find the finish line
And when it was all over we won it in the end
We were splitting the prize when she opened her eyes
And said, "Baby, let's try it again."

We were beating the odds, we were beating the odds
We were beating the odds again
We were gambling with our souls
We were playing to win
We were beating the odds again

We were beating the odds, we were beating the odds
We were beating the odds again
We were gambling with our souls
We were playing to win
We were beating the odds again
